El Camino Real Bell, Washington & Fremont Blvd, Fremont Ca - Californian Bells of El Camino Real on Waymarking.com

The center of Fremont's Irvington neighborhood is the spot where Fremont Boulevard angles and Washington Boulevard intersects. In a plaza at this spot sits a seemingly out-of-place El Camino Real bell.

In the Mission days, Washington Boulevard was the road that led from Mission San Jose to their docks on the bay. Thus, it's perfectly fitting that there be a bell at this spot.

It's old and rusted and sounds like iron

and for some reason it's not hung high overhead, but is right within reach.

A marker in the ground identifies it as a gift of the Native Daughters of the Golden West.

County: Alameda Location: Washington Blvd & Fremont Blvd Placed by: Native Daughters of the Golden West Year placed: 01/01/1955 Bell Type: 1963 Kramer Bell

Visit Instructions:
1) Take and upload a photo of the bell with your GPSr (or you) in it. Drive-by photos from the car window are perfectly acceptable as long as they have your GPSr in them.
